Making a Kite

Flying a kite is good exercise and a lot of fun (even if you don’t get the kite up in the air).
Instead of going out and buying a kite, make one instead. You will need fabric (or very
strong paper), strong glue, two wooden dowels and string.

To begin, lay the two dowels in a cross position and use some of the string to lash the
sticks together into that position. You will do this by weaving the string in and out of the
dowels. Once the dowels are secure, put glue on the string and leave it to dry. Once this
is done you should have a strong frame for your kite. Making a Kite

Nature has endowed Batangas with natural resources and picturesque sceneries. Coconut, orchids and mango trees lie alongside smooth sand beaches and their submarine gardens. Just a few kilometers from the shore will bring you to diverse dive sites - from the ones fit for novices (relatively shallow, constant water current), up to those which can pose a big challenge to experts. Without question, the most popular attraction is the Taal Volcano and Lake.

Batangas used to lie along the
route of the Spanish Galleon Trade from Mexico to Manila. The
recent discovery of the San Diego Galleon in Nasugbu, Batangas
yielded precious artifacts, including Ming dynasty jars which
were exhibited in Paris, France during this decade. The San Diego
is considered one of the foremost archeological finds of the
90's.

Batangas is the characterized
by elevations such as Mt. Makulot where the trainee pilots of
the Philippine Air Force Flying School in Lipa City practice
their maneuvers. The blue waters of Anilao Beach can prove alluring
to swimmers. The well-preserved town of Taal boasts of its old
churches, handicrafts, and historical landmarks. Batangas is
the home of one of the country's national heroes, Apolinario
Mabini who is known as the "Sublime Paralytic".

The proximity of Batangas to
Manila and the good quality of most of the main roads make the
province very accessible thereby fueling the local tourism industry
and the provincial economy.

Batangas' pre-eminence in the
area of eco-industrial growth cannot be disputed. It ranks as
one of the country's richest provinces for being the producer
of high grade coffee varieties among the other agriculture products,
which won world acclaim in the past.

There are more possibilities
to unravel about Batangas which investments can nurture, with
eco-tourism and the controlled use of natural resources as strategies
for socio-economic development. To date, the intensified development
of Batangas Port as an alternative port to Metro Manila augurs
well for the province.
